5 For Five - Nov 24

So what is 5 For Five? In the short form, it is 5 goals I want to achieve this week. Next week, I will report on my success (or failure).

Here were the goals from last week:

1. Read the newspapers to July 12. Nope.
2. Clean off the kitchen table. Yes!
3. Organize my Jamberry supplies . You can keep up with my sales on Facebook, on this blog, and at my Jamberry website. Somewhat
4. Pre-write a few blog posts. Nope.
5. Clean out the coupons thoroughly! Nope.

Ok, so last week was a really bad week. So what are my goals for this week???

So here are my SMART goals for this week:

1. Read the newspapers to July 15. (I'm cheating on this one as I have some done already)
2. Take family pictures at Thanksgiving.
3. Clean out the coupons thoroughly.
4. Pre-write a few blog posts.
5. Publicize the Jamberry specials for Black Friday through Cyber Monday

Not only is Jamberry offering some holiday specials, but so am I! Make sure you keep up with them this weekend on Facebook and Google.

You are probably wondering what a SMART goal is. It is a term I "borrowed" from Say Goodbye to Survival Mode by Crystal Paine at Money Saving Mom. SMART goals are: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound. Since all these goals are really time-bound (1 week), I just have to get better at meeting the other criteria.

Ok, who is with me? Let's keep each other on track to a better year!
